PRESS REVIEWS

Witness a cut like ‘Borrowed Time’ which develops its mood with a huge dose of speed tapping, that swarms about your head like a cloud of belligerent gnats, before exploding into a rocking solo that serves as an emotional release before Sharman returns to that intense tapping theme, like on the following ‘Forgotten Souls’ a mysteriously developed melodic tale, Sharman impresses both with the scope of his guitar skills and his well conceived yet free spirited tunes.

Buzz Morison, Guitar For The Practicing Musician

Atomic Chaser’ is funky, percussion fuelled and a positive guitar riot, and Sharman’s at his best when the whole style of the song moves away from a rock beat.

Neil Perry, Select Magazine

Borrowed Time is a cinematic hard rock instrumental that wouldn’t be out of place in a Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie.
